We have seen how TV technology has evolved from black & white to colored, and from to CRT to flat screen. Now we have the LCDs, LEDs, and Plasma TVs. And together with these advances are the improvements in people's lifestye, somewhere Samsung has always been along the way.
In a recent priviledged invitation from Samsung, I got to experience a luxurious lifetsyle, albeit briefly, in a Makati posh hotel called
Picasso Boutique Hotel with the new
Samsung Plasma TV and
Blu Ray player.
It was a tiring day, but upon opening the door and lights of the
VIP studio in
room 801, a loft-style, fully furnished 2-level unit greeted me and two other friends last weekend.

The furnitures and interior design were both elegant and chic. And guess what, it was awesomely complemented by a
64" plasma television. It's Samsung's latest
Plasma TV model PS64D8000 audibly enhanced with a matching home theater system.

I only see TVs as big as this in electronic store showrooms and exhibitions. It's only now that I got to actually use one. It's basically as long as a kid lying on its side. :)
We also saw the latest blue ray player from Samsung lying quietly on the left side. Too eager, we tried to explore the Samsung Plasma TV first, which was also a
Smart TV.
Having explored the features of Samsung Smart TV months ago, tinkering around with our newest gadget was a breeze. And Internet buffs and bloggers that we are, checking out the Internet feature of '
our' plasma TV was the priority. :)

As proud bloggers, we of course checked out how our websites looked like on
Samsung's Plasma TV. We also tried watching videos from
YouTube, and searched for other websites.

We literally turned it into a large monitor upon connecting from the laptop through the
HDMI port. And you guessed it right, we weren't able to resist posting in Facebook. :)

We also tried to play some games and the size was just overwhelming. It's gamer's dream TV and monitor in one. :)

Samsung Blu Ray
After exploring the features of the plasma TV, it was time for some movie viewing with the Samsung's latest
Blu Ray player model D7500.

Sleek and stylish, the
D7500 doesn't look like your usual flatbed player. Clad in a silver light metal finish and lighted touch-sensitive player icons, it's certainly a looker.
I even intially mistook it for another appliance, and not as the blu ray player. :) We started with the
Megamind Blu Ray disc.

In 3D
The
Megamind movie we got is the
3D version. It's good that our Samsung Plasma TV can also render a
3D movie.
Naturally, we put on the
Samsung 3D glasses to enjoy the 3D experience. We also tried the other disc including
Shrek and
Harry Potter.

Samsung Lifestyle
A
3D 64"" Smart Plasma TV paired with a sleek
blu ray player and a home theater system in a posh boutique hotel in the metro - this is the ultimate home enterntainment lifestyle experience! :)
Someday, perhaps, I would be able to "move up" and have the same level of home entertainment lifestyle with the latest Samsung TV technologies at that time, whatever it may be. :)
Samsung is making a superior plasma television. It has realistic colors, rich contrast and fantastic overall picture quality. It has created an entirely new and immersive viewing experience when it comes to home entertainment. Thanks a lot.
